What Can I Expect During Kitchen Remodeling?
Kitchen remodeling provides homeowners with the opportunity to upgrade features, add cabinet space, and change color palettes. Callier & Thompson offers comprehensive remodeling services for kitchens, basements, bathrooms, and more. Here is more information about what you can expect during the remodeling process:
Discuss Your Goals
Before starting the demolition, you will work with your renovation team to discuss your goals for the project. Whether you want increased space and functionality or modern appliances and improved aesthetics, you will share these requirements with your contractor. Remodeling experts may ask about features you like and dislike from pictures or showrooms. They may discuss budget and timeline requirements.
Determining the scope of your project in advance will help you prioritize your needs during the remodel. Smaller remodels include changing fixtures, paint, or countertops. More extensive remodels involve expanding walls, adding plumbing fixtures, and installing new cabinets and flooring. While this type of remodeling may extend the timeline, the modern features will help improve aesthetics and convenience.
Start the Designs
Kitchen remodeling contractors will visit your home to take measurements and photos of your kitchen. This will help them gain a better idea of where they can make improvements or adjustments. Select color palettes, materials, and appliances you want to incorporate into the space. Custom features like increased storage and counter space or more outlets for appliances help improve your kitchen’s functionality. Appliance garages, kitchen islands, and increased lighting are other design elements to evaluate.
During the design stage, you will select materials for floors, countertops, and cabinetry. Creating a design plan allows contractors to understand the project’s scope and what subcontractors they will need. Depending on the extent of the changes you make, they may need to acquire building permits from the local government.
Begin the Demolition
Once the designs are finalized, the renovation team will start with demolition. This may involve shutting off utilities, removing walls, and ripping out old flooring. To prevent dust and debris from spreading to other spaces, we hang plastic sheeting over doorways and openings. Homeowners may need to set up a temporary kitchen space in other areas of the house.
Install New Features
Our team will then install new cabinetry or countertops, and we will add paint or wallpaper to the walls. We will add your selected flooring material, whether it is tile, concrete, hardwood, or laminate. Depending on the extent of the renovations, we may need to set up new plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems in your kitchen.
To provide proper visibility, we incorporate task and decorative lighting, including new windows, ceiling lights, pendant fixtures, and outlets for lamps. Renovation experts take care of minor details like backsplashes, faucets, and other hardware. The team at Callier & Thompson provides a helpful app for our customers to use to track the status of renovation projects. Homeowners can view the project timeline, daily updates, and progress photos.
Finalize the Project
Before your project is complete, our team will make sure everything meets your standards and expectations. We will carefully clean the kitchen and remove any leftover materials or debris from the project. Our team will check to make sure new appliances are working properly. The final inspection gives homeowners the opportunity to adjust certain elements or request fixes before they start using their new space.
